Inspired by the structure of polar bear fur, researchers in Science present a knittable aerogel fiber with exceptional thermal and mechanical properties.
The fibers are washable, dyeable, durable, and well-suited to be used in advanced textiles. scim.ag/5q2

Nice piece in @guardian on the Big Ring, a giant circle of galaxy clusters more than a billion lightyears across, discovered by @missalexialopez. No structure should be that big. Is it forcing us to rethink the structure and evolution of the universe?
When anthopologist Meredith Small stumbled across a huge and stunningly beautiful map in a corner of a Venice museum a few years ago, she didn't realise just how important an object she had set eye on 👇 newscientist.com/article/mg2…
From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK.
In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.
